"Sniff" ;( no one answered my question
I have system software 3.52 so I guess I am ok? Also nova has local and online multiplayer correct?
On a side note have you guys really done that much in a short amount of time?! Thats incredible.

You need to update to 3.60 as HENkaku does not work on anything else.
The game does have local but not sure on online.

New test version: http://arks-layer.com/vita/Nova_EnglishPatch_9_23_2016_v010.zip

Please test out, uh, everything. Basically, just let me know if you find any strings that are too long, don't do what they say, or are garbled/cut off.

More enemies, weapons, items, shields, lots of status window stuff, the options, field NPC names (needs testing), did the first tutorial window just as a POC for formatting (it's a pain), and a bunch of other stuff. I've been doing a bit of everything as I'm mapping the gigantic file. I'm about 45% through mapping what all the strings are now.

EDIT: I'm aware of the issue with the first tutorial window - It's been fixed and will be correct in the next uploaded version. Thank you!

You need to update to 3.60 specifically.

aw im hopeless on this type of stuff. I'd mess up somewhere along the line, it looks super complicated. Is there ANY benefit to having my vita on system software 3.52? as in homebrew or something?

Not anymore. You can use PSP-mode exploits on 3.52, but everything interesting is happening on 3.60.

Sorry mate, but you can't share entire videos as they're copyrighted. People that want to help with the translation will have to extract themselves.

 

[Zeriel]

I would like to help translating, but I don't have a Vita so I can't even play the game...

This is amazing, thank you so much for this work! I am about to try the translation patch to check it out. PSO is one of my favorite series of all time, still have my Dreamcast save files sitting around, still have fond (and frustrating) memories of some good old dial-up Dreamcast multiplayer.

Imagine a DC emu on the vita and then Ps0 running on it with servers created by fans lol pipe dreams

If anyone wants to help translate, feel free to stop by our discord and check out the Github page (https://github.com/Arks-Layer/PSNovaTranslations). I throw stuff up there once I find it, and when it's done, it gets thrown right back into the patch \ o /

Made some progress with dialogue/tutorials (Please not that these dialogues may only be about 99% grammatically correct, are subject to change, etc etc etc):
